It’s not what you know, but who you know (and how well you know them)
To be successful in your new role you are going to need to build allies, make friends and have broad connections. Otherwise known as networking. If that gives you a cold shiver, get over yourself, I’m sure you have friends and know people. Apply the same approach to getting to know people at work, but make it a priority.

The first thing you do should be great, it will be the thing people remember
It is difficult to shift first impressions. You got the job, so you made a good first impression. Now you need to do that in the new gig, that means making sure the first thing you do is something great. If people see you do something great, they’ll assume that you are great.

Manage and set expectations
Expectations are crucial in a role. Be 100% clear on your manager’s expectations. Success will be judged by your manager. People are often terrible communicators, find out what your manager wants and deliver it. Don’t wait for your manager to tell you what they want.
Be careful that you don’t set the wrong expectations about yourself. Avoid working long hours to begin with. Working long hours says “I work hard,” but it will quickly become the norm. If you begin with twelve hour days, you will have nowhere to go to demonstrate that you are working harder.
